Chapter 287 Pikachu's "Losing Weight" Notes (Subscribe)

"Pleasant Goat, Beautiful Goat..."

"Don't think I'm just a sheep!"

Just as the third season of the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" "A Happy Year for Sheep and Goat" continued to hit the air, and sparked a frenzy of discussions about the characters in the animation plot, Gu Miao came to Feiyang Studio.

Hou Bin called him.

On the phone, Director Hou said with joy that the production of the animation "Pokémon" is progressing very well, and everyone in the studio is looking forward to Mr. Gu to see the results.

By the way...

Guide the next stage of work!

Gu Miao couldn't bear to refute his face because of the warm invitation.Even with the recent incident of "The Chef Liu Maoxing" and the energy involved in "The Snake Comes Around", he still found time to come.

"Mr. Gu, look at this!"

As soon as she stepped into Feiyang's studio, Gu Miao was dragged by the enthusiastic Hou Bin to the interior of the studio and watched the latest film.

"Hmm! It's okay...wait!"

At first glance, Gu Miao didn't realize the problem, but when he took a few more glances, he couldn't help frowning.

There's something wrong with this framerate!

At first glance, he thought it was a traditional standard 24-frame animation, but after a few more glances, he realized that this number of frames was definitely not 24 frames.

And there is another point, why does the coloring method of this line draft look more and more like flat painting "celluloid"?

So, he asked a tentative question.

"Cellulus?"

"Ok!"

Hou Bin nodded and said: "The style of Celluloid's picture is concise and strong, and the most important point is that the coloring is more efficient!"

High EQ: Efficient!

Low EQ: Save Money!

Gu Miao has no opinion on Hou Bin's use of "celluloid" in the production of the animation "Pokemon".

Although celluloid is a relatively primitive and "old-fashioned" animation production method, it can be described in an abstract way, which is probably: artificial PS layer, or shadow puppetry.

That's right!

In the wild period of animation that has not yet entered the "digital age", there is no such portable "computer software" to use today.

The animation producer, in order to minimize the workload of hand-painting and coloring and save costs as much as possible, thus "Cellulu" was born!
of course!

The original celluloid actually refers to a kind of resin material, which has nothing to do with "animation production".

But it doesn't matter, anyway, after so many years, everyone is used to the name "Cellulu".

Celluloid has a signature trait!
Heavy line draft!
As the saying goes, "If you don't have a line draft, send it back and redo it", this is nothing new in the industry.

After entering the digital age...

Celluloid gradually evolved from an "old-school animation production method" to an "illustration style and painting method", and a new genre emerged as the times required.

Hou Bin's method is actually to draw the line draft first, and then paint and fill in the exquisite line draft. He pays more attention to the "exaggerated" expressiveness of the line draft, and the color matching is bold and vivid.

What are the benefits of this?
On the one hand, there is the consideration of "saving" production costs, and on the other hand, it is because the celluloid style is actually very popular with the "audience".

That's right!

Gu Miao doesn't know much about the illustration world and the comic world. Anyway, in the animation world, Celulu's set is quite popular.

Hou Bin has his own ideas.

According to him, he also played the Pokémon game.Most of the original paintings or illustrations that appear in the "Pokémon" game are in this style.

He wants to stay in tune with the game!
This will allow gamers to fall in love with the animation at a glance and improve the "reduction" of the animation.

"sure, no problem."

Gu Miao nodded, not surprised by it.

very few people know.

The earliest animation "Pokémon" without printing, which is the first season of animation adaptation, is actually made of "celluloid" film.

After entering the 21st century, the newly released animations were converted to "digital" production, and celluloid film was never used again...

So, why does the Wuyin chapter look so cool?Because it is celluloid film, purely hand-painted!

"Mr. Gu, look at this again..."

After showing the film, Hou Bin used the computer to call up an original painting of "Pikachu", and explained it carefully to Gu Miao.

"Aiming at the shape of Pikachu, we also made some fine-tuning in the animation!"

"Oh!"

When Gu Miao saw this Pikachu, she immediately froze.

what?

Pishen is going to the gym, and you have a membership card, right?I haven't seen it for a few days, and the weight loss effect is obvious!

"In the game, Pikachu's shape is too fat! It is undeniable that many players think that it is more cute and charming."

Hou Bin shrugged and said: "But this is because the game screen is not high-definition enough, and there is a kind of blurred beauty. If the animation shape is the same, it is obvious that Pikachu will become very bloated and fat."

"That's right!"

Gu Miao nodded frantically.

He wanted to complain a long time ago, plump and chubby, these are of course "cute" labels, but were the early Pikachu too "fat"?

That's exactly a "ball"!
Pokémon IP has been in operation for more than 20 years. As the classic Pokémon characters, Pikachu and Pishen's "shape" have also undergone multiple rounds of update iterations.

Many people only know the current Pikachu, and if they are asked to see the old version and the Pikachu made by the original designer, they probably cannot believe it...

Is this fat yellow-skinned mouse really my skin god?Don't make trouble!How could Pishen be so fat?

slander!

Pure slander!

Pikachu sent a lawyer's letter to warn...

In any case, Gu Miao, who was used to the "slim version" of Pikachu, really couldn't accept it. The original version was plump and round.

That stuff is really awesome!
If Hou Bin didn't mention this, he would have almost forgotten that Pikachu still has such an unbearable experience of "fitness and weight loss".

It's not too late to think about it now.

At least, he can correct the mistakes from the beginning, so that Pikachu always maintains a slender figure in the animation.

Can't get fatter!
If I get fatter, I'm afraid that all the female fans will run away.Fitness and weight loss is the right way, serious Pokémon, how can there be a precedent for getting fat into a ball?

what?
You said Charizard is also fat?

Fat is fat, but that is "Teacher Big Spray", understandable.

After all, the professional Pokémon career of the big spray teacher has long been concluded. He slept until he retired, and he couldn't answer the question "what kind of skin do you have?", a typical bad guy.

Isn't that Pokémon stain?

Well……

Although the two are similar in size, but carefully measuring the results of the competition, Gu Miao immediately felt that it seemed a bit insulting to compare the stains with the big spray teacher.

In general.

The shape of Pokémon is actually not static.

Just as Pikachu has also experienced "fitness and weight loss", the appearance of many Pokémon has changed.

Therefore, Gu Miao did not object to Hou Bin's weight loss for Pikachu, and even raised her hands and feet in favor of it.
